ABC Wednesday - New Round Starts and WOYWW

A new round starts this week - and the farewell one as well. This has been a most enjoyable challenge - I will be so sad to see its end.

For this round, I thought I would once again create an art piece with a quote. The focus though will be on speaking out - against bigotry, prejudice, hatred, bullying, I know I risk alienating people, but I cannot stay quiet.
Even though I live in Canada, the fallout from the American election will greatly effect Canada as well as the world. In my 65 years this seems to be the most divisive election I have observed. It scares me. Meryl Streep gave us all a call to use our voices in the years ahead.
I found this article online and found it very powerful - well worth the read.

A is for Sally Armstrong - an advocate for women and for human rights; a Canadian journalist

A is also for Anonymous

WOYWW

Each week, Julia Dunnit of "Stamping Ground" encourages us to share what we are working on and what our work spaces look like.

I've also started a new challenge for myself - using the projects in "The Collage Workbook" by Randel Plowman to ignite my collage practice.
The first project was to create 5 quick collages - each in 5 minutes. I gathered papers - the central image was from Christmas wrapping paper that I couldn't throw out and then IO just played with scraps I had. A fun, quick project.

Here's my work space while working:
